An outdoor Victorian Christmas Market takes place at the Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle, on Sunday, December 18, from 11am.

This traditional market will get visitors into the Christmas spirit and provide a great opportunity to stock up on local produce, gifts and stocking fillers with a good selection of farmers market and craft stalls.

This free festive event will take place within the park and on the ground floor of the museum.

Outside on the terrace there will be more than 50 market stalls. Barnard Castle Farmers Market will be selling local produce alongside craft stalls offering a selection of gift ideas and stocking fillers.

Musical entertainment will be provided by Barnard Castle Brass Band which will play festive music between noon and 1pm and a musical steam organ, kindly donated for the day by Mr Toulson.

Inside the entrance hall of the museum, Christmas carols will be performed by local singers and Father Christmas will be making a guest appearance.
